Welcome

In 1969, the Guild was started to help young singers pursue their careers in opera. Considered ambitious at the time, today the Guild can look with pride at a list of singers who perform regularly at major opera houses throughout the world.

Throughout the years the Guild ventured into the classroom by offering programs that help young children develop an understanding and appreciation of opera.

Our membership is made up of approximately 75 members who meet on a regular basis at coffee events, luncheons or more often at dinners held at nearby tastefully appointed venues. Here they can enjoy a blend of good conversation, fine food and a program of outstanding opera singing.
